Can I capture a screenshot of a Webflow page on click and convert it to a downloadable PDF?

You can’t do this directly in Webflow, but you can achieve it with custom code and third-party libraries. Webflow doesn’t support screenshot or PDF generation natively, but embedding JavaScript tools like html2canvas and jsPDF enables this functionality.

1. Use html2canvas to Capture the Screenshot

• html2canvas is a JavaScript library that renders a DOM element into a canvas image.
• Include it via a CDN in your Webflow project by adding this inside your Page Settings → Footer Code:
• <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/1.4.1/html2canvas.min.js"></script>

2. Use jsPDF to Generate the PDF

• jsPDF allows PDF creation from canvas images or basic HTML.
• Add this CDN below the html2canvas script:
• <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/2.5.1/jspdf.umd.min.js"></script>

3. Add a Button in Webflow

• Place a Button component on the page where you want users to trigger the screenshot.
• Give it a unique ID like download-pdf-btn.

4. Write and Embed Custom Script

• Go to your page's Page Settings → Footer Code or use an Embed element in Webflow.

• Add this inline JavaScript to link everything:

  ```html

  ```

• Note: Update document.body to target a specific element if you only want to capture part of the page.

5. Publish and Test the Interaction

• Publish your site, then click the button to trigger the screenshot and PDF download.
• Ensure it works across browsers, especially if your page has dynamic content, animations, or external assets.

Summary

Webflow alone can’t generate PDFs or screenshots, but by embedding html2canvas and jsPDF via CDN and using a trigger button with JavaScript, you can capture a Webflow page section and download it as a PDF.
